"O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done." (Surah al-'Hujuraat, Verse Number 6)
Mashallah dear brother very very good lesson for us to learn! I am so happy you posted this as I have been thinking along these lines lately. It is so easy for us to pass on information we hear without verifying it first and that is so dangerous as the interpretation can change from person to person!
Excellent demonstration of this point dear brother and I pray Allah reward your effort Ameen
No. Just no, not funny at all. There was always that kid who would turn to you and whisper some nonsense gibberish pretending to make sense and then turn around all innocent.
So you're stuck figuring out what to tell the next person. And of course then you have to turn around and becomethat kid. Vicious cycle, vicious game.
